should I upgrade to Windows 7?

11-16-2010, 07:47 PM

I've been using Vista for a while now and it works fine for me. However sometimes at the end of long day it does seem to bog down and get a little slow.

Of those of you who have upgraded to Windows 7, does it really make your life that much easier and is it really worth doing?

The main stuff I use every day is openoffice, dreamweaver, photoshop, email, Digsby and few other things. Are there any particular things you had issues with not working correctly?

photoshop was fine, email thru outlook was fine, not sure about the others.

The biggest software problem I had was autocad which just didn't work at all and forced to buy the updated version...

Cool thanks for the info. I think I am going to do the upgrade. Sometimes I just worry that I am going to move up and hate it. I moved from Win 98 to ME and felt the pain. Ever since I have been a little gun shy

windows 7 is much better, google is your friend. One of the things that irritated me the most was the search function not working to find text within files... I found the answer just took me a couple hours. By default, it does not index your files on hardrive, you have to change settings manually.

Overall though... much better OS then XP, vista and others

I hesitated for a long ass time. XP was a hard habit to break. Been on Win 7 since I upgraded to a new laptop a few months ago. Not bad.

for me, I think the philosophy "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies, no matter how good Windows 7 is, there will be some issues when you upgrade, so you end up spending time upgrading some software or dealing with different drivers needed, etc.

I recommend you to upgrade.
I got a Home edition for my notebook, and plan to upgrade to the best possible version... Anyone knows if its possible w/o re-installing the OS and paying online for the upgrade?

Using Vista is like still driving a 74 Datsun because it 'still works'.

Seriously, anything that old in computer technology is ancient. You know this (anyone posting here should).

You need to at least try it judging from the replies here, most people were happy they did.

It's better than Vsita, but I don't like the kindergarten interface and the fact that explorer hides half of the important stuff for you.

Windows XP Pro X64 is still the best out there!

Windows 7 brought me back.

Have you applied ServicePack 1 to Vista? If you do, it will fix most of the difference between Vista and Win7

Windows 7 is pretty good. I use it on my work PC, still have Vista on my laptop which is fine as well. Won't bother upgrading that, I'll wait till I need a new laptop before I go to Windows 7.

Of those of you who have upgraded to Windows 7, does it really make your life that much easier and is it really worth doing?
